Ethnicity, Language, & Religion of Guyana

Ethnicity

Over 40% of Guyana's population is entirely (east) Indian.
However, India is home to dozens of ethnic groups and in Guyana
there is little distinction from one ethnic group to the next; many people are a
combination of numerous ethnicities, although they tend to be northern Indian ethnic
groups. Another 30% of the population is wholly African, about 15% is of mixed ethnicity,
and about 10% is wholly Amerindian.

Language

There are multiple languages spoken in Guyana, but English
seems to be the main language of communication across groups. Within varying groups
other languages are preferred as the (east) Indian population tends to speak Caribbean
Hindustani (a dialect of Bhojpuri), the indigenous people speak rare native languages,
and others speak Urdu or some form of English Creole, again depending on their ethnicity
or culture.

About a third of Guyana's population is Protestant, but
there is little continuity in the particular sect of Protestantism. About half of
the people that are Protestant are Pentecostal and about a quarter of the Protestants
are Anglican, a result of past British influence and settlement. Nearly another
third of the population is Hindu and nearly all of these adherents are ethnic (east)
Indians. The rest of the population is quite divided religiously; the largest of
these many groups are Roman Catholics, which make up about 8% of the population
and Muslims make up about 7%.
